Indigo - 5th birthday mix
HERE
Indigo has been blurring the ethereal boundaries between Techno, Dubstep and Electronica since a self-released debut 12″ back in 2008. While others are content to find a groove and settle, Indigo has remained ever fluid with releases on labels as diverse as Exit Records, Tectonic, Brownswood, On the Edge and his own Mindset Records imprint.
The magnetic pull and promise of Manchester is one keenly felt by all who grow up within its radius and Indigo’s explorations into the city’s burgeoning electronic music scene provided both limitless inspiration and a sounding board against which to test his early productions. Part of a fresh wave of talent experimenting with the possibilities a lower frequency range, his sound developed at a rapid rate. With deep roots in Manchester’s Electronica history, Indigo’s productions have always explored the meeting point between sub bass and locked grooves, hints of Bristol weight and the dissonance of Berlin set seamlessly against the innate melancholy of the North.
At the advent of the much feted Autonomic movement, Indigo, alongside long term production partner Synkro, was one of the first of many artists to move up the BPM range and experiment again with Drum & Bass tempos. His sound fell flawlessly into place within the limitless environs of Autonomic. Timeless and powerfully emotive tracks such as ‘Guidance’, with Synkro and his own production ‘Time’ captivated audiences and broke new ground, further expanding the growing notion that genre was a dying term.
Mancunians never have been in thrall of the purported dominance of London, choosing always to dance to their own tunes, and Indigo embodies this spirit more than most. His & Synkro’s label, Mindset Records has a music policy that has always resolutely ignored the cult of cool as decreed by ‘tastemakers’. Running against the grain and choosing to give a platform to those whose sound fell outside the parameters set by others was a move which has clearly paid off.
With a host of continental shows under his belt, DJ support from Modeselektor, dBridge, Rob Booth, DJ Pete and Mary Anne Hobbs, and with a 2012 schedule that includes more than one side project and releases on some well-respected labels, Indigo’s impressive rise looks set to continue.
